After the calculation, the results are displayed in Tables, sorted by various criteria. They are also shown in the model Graphic of the work window. The 'Navigator - Results' is tailored to the steel design, allowing you to control the graphic display for the various design check types as needed.
You can also view the Design Check Details with intermediate values and design formulas. Furthermore, the Result Diagrams in Cross-Section can be displayed with the stress distribution.
The following subchapters present various options available for displaying and evaluating the design results. The Documentation chapter, in turn, describes how to prepare the results for the printout.
Objects without Results
If the results of a member or a surface are not displayed, this may have the following causes:
- The object is not selected for design in the Objects to Design table.
- The results are hidden due to filter settings.
Check the Visibilities and the filter settings for the graphic results in the Control Panel. If the result is missing in the result table, check the filter settings in the Result Table Manager. Also, pay attention to the selected settings for synchronization with the graphic; for example, there is the option to display only visible or selected objects. In the dialog of the Design Check Details, on the other hand, all results are available – regardless of filter settings and selections.
The table result category Overview is suitable for checking the designed objects: If an object is invalid due to material or cross-section properties or has been deactivated because of the design via a member set, it is listed accordingly in the result table Not valid / deactivated.
Furthermore, a design configuration for a limit state must be assigned to every object that is selected for design in the Objects to Design input table. If this is not the case, no check is performed for the limit state (see the Steel Design chapter).
